Pakistani wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal on Friday vehemently denied his involvement in match fixing during the national team’s recent tour of Australia and said he was not bothered about such allegations as had always played clean for the country.
ICC had on Thursday revealed that it was looking into Pakistan’s poor show in their tour of Australia early this year and fingers of suspicion were raised on Akmal who had dropped four catches and missed an easy run out chance in the Sydney Test.
Akmal said he was fed up with the constant talk about match-fixing in Pakistan cricket and no longer bothered to even give credence to such stories.
“I don’t even try to think about these things because I know I have always played clean cricket for Pakistan. I am really not bothered by these allegations because it is nothing new for me. I don’t know how anyone can make such statements without evidence,” Akmal told reporters in Lahore.
“I have told the PCB everything I had to about my performances in Australia. I just want to focus on my cricket and on our team,” Akmal said.
